Explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "And whatever is other than the substitute, of what is attached to it, is truly in the accusative case."

The Shaykh : Yes, "And whatever is other than the substitute, of what is attached to it, is truly in the accusative case"
"Ma" is the first subject, and his statement "al-nasb" (the accusative case) is the second subject. "Lahu" (for it) is a preposition and its object, attached to a deleted predicate for the second subject. The sentence consisting of the second subject and its predicate is in the position of the predicate for the first subject. The meaning is: whatever is other than the substitute for the doer, of what is attached to the verb, is in the accusative case in every case. This is the meaning of the verse: whatever is other than the substitute is in the accusative case. So you say, "It was thought that Zayd was departing," and "I saw Zayd with 'Umar standing," and Allah knows best.
